You recently had a meet-up with Nina West, a contestant on this season ’ s RuPaul ’ s Drag Race, outside the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, home to Waitress the Musical. Recently, Bareilles spoke candidly about fearlessly (and finally) speaking her mind, backlash from Trump supporters who are refusing to listen to her new music and criticism that allies shouldn ’ t sing about the LGBTQ community. (She also wrote the music and lyrics for Broadway ’ s Waitress the Musical, which opened in 2015.) Amidst the Chaos is Bareilles ’ first studio album in six years, the last being 2013 ’ s The Blessed Unrest. She followed her own be-bold guidance for her fifth solo album, Amidst the Chaos, making timely feminist assertions ( “ Armor ” ) and using coded language to write songs that could be about love but were actually written, mournfully, longingly, with a specific loved one in mind: Barack Obama. Of course she summoned you to do the same atop a bop that wouldn ’ t take no for an answer, but she ’ s been a work in progress herself. Sara Bareilles wanted to see herself be brave.
